Python Pandas

Pandas to LaTeX

Python is a user-friendly programming language that is used for multiple general purposes, such as manipulation tools, data analysis, and many more. It was not designed for graphic designing or statistical analysis. However, it has been most commonly used while analyzingΒ  data, computing statistics, and many more. Python offers different types of packages/libraries for each use case.

The outcomes from this guide are:

What is the β€œpandas” in Python?

The β€œpandas” is Python’s library that gives efficiently expressive data structures. It is designed for working with β€œlabeled” data, machine learning, and data analysis tasks. It is also built on top of another package named β€œNumpy” that gives support for multi-dimensional arrays.

What is LaTeX and LaTeX Document in Python?

The β€œLaTeX” is a high-quality document preparation system that is utilized for generating documents through plain text and designed with markup tags same as HTML or CSS. More specifically, used to design technical, scientific, and academic documents, such as conference or journal papers. Moreover, it is freely accessible software for all types of operating systems, such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and many more. Similarly, the β€œLaTex” document is a word-like plain text document.

How to Change Pandas Dataframe into LaTeX in Python?

To convert pandas DataFrame into LaTeX in Python, first, import the β€œpandas” module:

import pandas as pd

 
Next, create a DataFrame which contains employee names and their respective usernames:

dataframe = pd.DataFrame({'Name' :['UserName'],
                 'Maria' : ['mari_4222'],
                 'Roshan': ['2016_ros'],
                 'Rasti': ['rs_0422']})

 
Now, call the β€œto_latex()” function inside the β€œprint” statement:

print(dataframe.to_latex(index = True, multirow = True))

 
It can be seen that the provided pandas DataFrame has been converted into LaTeX successfully:


That’s it! We have provided the easiest way of converting pandas to LaTeX in Python.

Conclusion

The β€œpandas” is an open-source Python library that is designed for working with β€œlabeled” data. Similarly, β€œLaTeX” is a high-quality document preparation system. To convert the pandas DataFrame into LaTeX in Python, the β€œto_latex()” function can be used. This guide illustrated the way of converting pandas to LaTeX in Python.
